If it's already chipping pressure wash it, it should be enough to blast the remaining paint residue off.

if youre talking about the plastic pieces (dash, door panels, etc) youre prolly gonna have to take them out (no sense pressure washing the INSIDE of a car ).. if its cloth or leather, then its gonna have to be reupholstered

Honestly, once its painted youre stuck.

You can strip the paint off with acetone and some other mild paint removers but that will leave a dry chalky white film over the plastic.

Best thing to do is strip the paint, then go to a bodyshop and have them apply a quality paint with a matted finish. If youre going to fix it, do it right... You wont get these results with a paint out of a spray can.

btw, i know this because we are fixing some "painted" interior trim for a customer at the moment. Its a black interior with chipped and cracked trim.

how much would it be to buy the interior pieces from the door panels all the way through the trunk, etc?
